The Carol Burnett Award is presented annually to an honoree who has made outstanding contributions to the television medium on or off the screen.

In his acceptance speech, Norman thanked Carol Burnett, for which the award is named, saying “nobody has made me laugh harder.”

“At close to 99, I can tell you that I’ve never lived alone, I’ve never laughed alone and that has as much to do with my being here today as anything else I know,” Norman said.

“And once more, thank you and bless you Carol Burnett for everything you have meant to me by way of joy, surprise, delight and laughter,” Norman added. “So glad we had this time together.”
